The Western Conference gets more interesting with every passing day. Three contenders for the play-in spot share the same record of 37-37 and the Minnesota Timberwolves are one of them. The Golden State Warriors on the other hand have a slight edge over the Timberwolves with a 39-36 record.

The dots seem to align well at the right time for the Warriors with the expected return of the “Young Glove” Gary Payton II. Stephen Curry is having another great season alongside fellow splash brother Klay Thompson.

The interesting fact about the Warriors’ season has been their abysmal 9-29 record on the road but their home dominance has been formidable. Steph Curry has been averaging 29.6 points per game at an impressive 42.8 percent efficiency from beyond the arc. Curry is on the verge of yet another 50-40-90 season. With 3 consecutive wins, the Warriors have a golden opportunity to move up the ladder by capitalising on their recently built momentum.

Is Stephen Curry playing tonight vs the Timberwolves?

The Minnesota Timberwolves will be visiting the Chase Center tonight and the Warriors have a huge advantage thanks to their impressive 30-7 record at home. Steph Curry has been listed as active and will be available against the Timberwolves. Another pleasing surprise is the return of Gary Payton II whom the Warriors acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers last month. Payton was a key contributor to the Warriors’ championship run in 2022. Andrew Wiggins has been out of action since February 14 due to personal reasons and is expected to stay out.

The Timberwolves saw big man Karl Anthony Towns return to action the previous game after staying out for 3 months. Anthony Edwards is listed as probable and there is a high possibility of Edwards returning as well. A win could potentially propel the Warriors to the 4th seed provided the Phoenix Suns encounter a loss, so this game holds immense importance in deciding the Western Conference standings.
